Tasked with playing the rest of the season for a team that traded him, Daiyan Henley put his emotions aside. And left room for jokes. He learned the deal fell through late Wednesday, and wondered, "Am I jobless?"

Henley would usually get paid on Thursday.

A look at his wild week, what it taught him about the business, and the people who stuck by his side:

@RyanWatkins20 Great insight

Curious to how the Chargers respond Monday, particularly on the defensive side.

Texans were the first team to truly gash them. Will give a good look into the locker room mentality.

@BoltsDraftTalk How do you see the defense responding? Think the Henley trade could have any impact?

@bynoahfurtado Some emotion? Crazy

Pretty sick rep by LA EDGE Akheem Mesidor (#90). Deletes the puller and wastes the TE coming behind him as well

4 Positions The Chargers Must Address Before the 2027 NFL Season

The Chargers organization won’t trade players ahead of Tuesdays deadline because it may “send the wrong message.”

Instead, they’ll keep the team that has led to the worst record in the league.

The Chargers care more about depiction in the media than preparing for the future.

#Chargers TE Charlie Kolar had no idea the offensive did not score in 37 straight drives. 💀😅

“37!?” Kolar said. “I wish you never told me that.”
